National Reconciliation Week runs 27 May-3 June and we kick off this show with a 2019 duet from Yirrmal and Jordie Lane, released for NRW 2019. The main theme for this show is looking at slections from Pollen Music Club - the Instagram site hosted by Joe Agius of RINSE / Hatchie fame. All tracks on this show are recent purchases from Bandcamp - an excellent site for purchasing music in all it's various forms - digital, vinyl, cassette, CD as well as merch. It's important to still buy music in this streaming age. There's two tracks not from Bandcamp and they are the closing tracks 'Arms of Love' by Michael Stipe / R.E.M. which is a rarity. I first heard Stipe's version on the 1993 Benefit album 'In Defense of Animals' put out by PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). I've included each version here. This is a nod to my plant-based diet of 5 years now. Artists include Caroline Polachek, GUV, Lala Lala, Chanel Beads, Swapmeet, Ms Ray (feat Nourished by Time), Horse Vision, media puzzle, Sunday Mourners, Avalon Emerson and the Charm, Robber Robber, Victoryland, Bonniesongs, Robert Lester Folsom, Snail Mail, Iceage, Francis of Delirium, Arlo Parks, The Healing Power of Horses and Deary.
